O when wilt thou my Saviour be!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 O when wilt thou my Saviour be! O when shall I be clean! The true eternal Sabbath see, A perfect rest from sin! 2 Jesus! the sinner's rest thou art, From guilt, and fear, and pain; While thou art absent from my heart, I look for rest in vain! 3 The consolations of thy word My soul have long upheld; The faithful promise of the Lord Shall surely be fulfill'd: 4 Joining thy sheep in yonder fold, Like them I shall rejoice; Like them thy glory shall behold And hear my shepherd's voice. 5 O that I now the voice might hear, That speaks my sins forgiven; Thy word is past to give me here The inward pledge of heaven.

My God, my portion, and my love!

I've none but thee in heav'n above, Or on this earthly ball. 2 In vain the bright meridian sun Scatters his feeble light: Thy brighter beams create my noon; If thou withdraw, 'tis night. 3 And while upon my restless bed, Amongst the shades I roll; If God his light around me shed, 'Tis morning with my soul. 4 To thee I owe my wealth and friends, And health, and safe abode. Thanks to thy name for meaner things; But they are not my God. 5 If I possess'd the spacious earth, And call'd the stars my own; Without thy mercy and thy love, I were a wretch undone. 6 Let others stretch their arms like seas, And grasp in all the shore; Grant me to see thy blissful face, And I desire no more!

To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends, But not for golden stores; Nor covet I the brightest gems On the rich eastern shores: 2 Nor that deluding empty joy Men call a mighty name, Nor greatness with its pride and state, My restless thoughts inflame:-- 3 Nor pleasure's fascinating charms My fond desires allure: But nobler things than these, from thee, My wishes would secure. 4 The faith and hope of joys to come My best affections move; Thy light, thy favour, and thy smiles, Thine everlasting love. 5 These are the blessings I desire: Lord, be these blessings mine! And all the glories of the world I cheerfully resign.
